Below code sinnpet describe how I starting my data service.

WebServiceHost dbServiceHost= new  WebServiceHost(typeof(MyDataService));

You need to use the DataServiceHost (in assembly System.Data.Services; descends from WebServiceHost) to host your WCF Data Service:

using System.Data.Services;

Uri[] baseAddresses = new Uri[1];
baseAddresses[0] = new Uri(baseAddress);

using(DataServiceHost host = new DataServiceHost(typeof(YourDataService), baseAddresses))
{
    host.Open();
    Console.WriteLine("DataService up and running.....");

    Console.ReadLine();
    host.Close();
 }
